Despite going 10-2 this season, Notre Dame was left out of the CFP. It was a last-minute decision by the committee, as Notre Dame was ranked higher than Miami all season before the bracket was released. Notre Dame wasn't happy about that decision, with athletic director Pete Bevacqua threatening the ACC over its willingness to push Miami into the CFP.
Following the snub, Notre Dame took itself out of bowl consideration, instead opting to simply end its season.
Despite being a controversial inclusion into the CFP, Miami has excelled in the tournament. The team beat Texas A&M and Ohio State and is set to take on Indiana in the national championship on Jan. 19.
